  • Chinese Prints 1950-2006 in the Ashmolean Museum by Weimin He and Shelagh Vainker

    Chinese Prints 1950-2006 in the Ashmolean Museum

    The Tibetan women living on the Qinghai-Tibet plateau are well known for their diligence, whether it is their cheerful laughter during work, or the playful fun between mothers and children during break, all of which show the unique and vigorous vitality of Tibetan women. These are the source of my inspiration.

    In 1969, Zhong Changqing graduated from the middle school attached to the Sichuan Academy of Fine Arts (SAFA) in Chongqing. In 1970, he was sent to Aba Tibetan Autonomous region until 1978, when he entered the SAFA and graduated in 1982. Two years later he gained a Master’s degree and began to teach in the faculty, later becoming head of the Department. His woodcuts show typical characteristics of the Sichuan School, which uses mainly monochrome techniques but with his own rough, linear style.
